The Materiality Of Textiles And Textile Tools In The Late Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean, Caroline Sauvage
The Materiality Of Textiles And Textile Tools In The Late Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean, Caroline Sauvage
Classics and Archaeology Faculty Works
This paper examines the materiality of Late Bronze Age Eastern Mediterranean (including the Aegean) textiles, fibres and textiles tools and aims to explore the relationship between people and their cloth and clothing while considering the diverse material properties of each garment and tool. It focuses on elite clothes and textiles. The article highlights the agency of matter and how the assemblage constituted by the individual elements of Late Bronze Age garments (natural fibres, imported or local dyes, colourful embellishments of beads, precious metals, and threads) acted on its environment as well as on its wearer. It also focuses on the …
Hekate Of Lagina: A Goddess Performing Her Civic Duty, Amanda Herring
Hekate Of Lagina: A Goddess Performing Her Civic Duty, Amanda Herring
Art History Faculty Works
The Hellenistic Sanctuary of Hekate at Lagina represents the only site at which Hekate received state-sponsored cult at a monumental temple and a privileged place in the local pantheon. Elsewhere in Karia and the wider Greek world, Hekate was associated with magic and the underworld and received personal dedications at doorways and crossroads. This portrayal was echoed in art, where her character manifested in her triple-bodied form. Yet, at Lagina, part of the city of Stratonikeia, she was always represented with a single body. She was the focus of civic cult, in particular during the Hekatesia-Romaia festival, which celebrated the …

Orpheus And Women On 5th Century Bce Vases, Samantha Burton
Orpheus And Women On 5th Century Bce Vases, Samantha Burton
Honors Thesis
In Greek myth, Orpheus is a musician with incredible talent, his music so beautiful that it charmed the beasts and guardians of the Underworld, and eventually Persephone and Hades themselves, into allowing his dead wife Eurydice to returning to the living realm. When he defied their singular rule of not turning to look back at her and she was then banished to the Underworld forever, Orpheus returned to the mortal realm, began to worship Helios instead of Dionysus, and was promptly killed by Thracian women sent by Dionysus. Alternatively, it has been told that Orpheus, wrought with heartbreak, could not …
Funerary Rituals, Aeschylus’ Eumenides And Sophocles’ Antigone, Katerina Zacharia
Funerary Rituals, Aeschylus’ Eumenides And Sophocles’ Antigone, Katerina Zacharia
Classics and Archaeology Faculty Works
The legislation of Dracon (c. 620 B.C.) and Solon (early sixth century) in Athens is the beginning of the long process by which the family or household, the oikos, was restrained and the polis (city-state) encroached on some of its former functions. The first stage was the restriction of the right to blood-vengeance. This is the background to the family revenge depicted in the Oresteia of Aeschylus. An analysis of the funerary legislation in Athens as transmitted by Plutarch, Demosthenes, and Cicero, points to an attempt by the state to curb excessive ostentation by the elite. I examine epigraphic …
Plurality Of Discourses In Euripides’ Ion: Euripides As Thinker And Dramatist, Katerina Zacharia
Plurality Of Discourses In Euripides’ Ion: Euripides As Thinker And Dramatist, Katerina Zacharia
Classics and Archaeology Faculty Works
This paper discusses a general problem in Euripidean poetics starting from a feature of the Ion. In that play there is a curious juxtaposition of contrasting pairs that run through the very core of the play. Euripides has arranged the plot-construction in a series of doublets, which, I argue, express the very substance of the play itself, as is shown by the fact that, beyond these individual structural repetitions, the thematic of the play as a whole is characterized by doubling and repetition at every level. Also, more profoundly, this arrangement in doublets is a way of representing reality; …
